Read MoreKathleen is a great instructor and teacher and she details every step to get you to paint a rose right from the beginning which includs how to sketch a rose and from various references. I love her demos on this as most classes don't cover this part which is an important element in the whole painting process. I love the way she demos from laying the rose down on canvas to making it loose and bold. Most highly recommended !

This course will challenge you and help you to grown as an artist using the methods I have used in my own life. I know they work because I use them, I have taught them to students in live settings and have seen real results.
This course is best for a Level 3 intermediate student who has a background in painting and some drawing.
The best way to learn the characteristics of a muse is to study it. In art, there is no better way than sketching. Sketching will teach you to see shapes, contrast and angles which will lead to a better and more interesting painting. This course teaches students to gather their own reference photos, keep a sketchbook, and use their preliminary sketches from which to paint.
Kathleen will walk you through from photographing to sketching to your final painting.
You can use the color palettes suggested by Kathleen, or choose your own. Kathleen will show you how she chooses the colors for her paintings' backgrounds, making her paintings come alive with joyful energy.
There are PDFs to help students along the way. These are downloadable and printable for easy reference.
